Lavender

katherinedunn'slavender bundle amidst my shell shrine.notice the beautiful encaustic by susannagordon? lovelybowl by karineriksson from designsponge shop.Something to soothe the senses in mid February's bleak cold. Lavender from one of my favorite artists and farmers Katherine Dunn. I ordered this bundle right after the end of January and it came wrapped beautifully and fragrantly to my door soon after. Katherine is known for her paintings and has been interviewed here byPenelope Dullagan, but did you know she has an etsy shop too? That is where I found this bit of springtime which did my soul and senses good this frigid month.

Hey, I recognize that painting! :) I bet the lavender smells heavenly. It looks so beautiful. I like how you've arranged everything. I have similar beach altars throughout my apartment during the summer months. THIS summer I'm going to buy myself a bunch of lavender, too. It looks so beautiful next to all the sea shells, art and corks. Ahhh...Summer...!
